Golf day for league clubs

Everglades Country Club will play host to Umina junior and senior rugby league clubs' inaugural Golf Fundraising Day on Monday, September 28.

According to club representative Mr Matthew Harvey, the event will raise much-needed funds to buy new jumpers and equipment for more than 400 junior and senior players.

"Both clubs are run by volunteers to help keep the children active in the community," Mr Harvey said.

"Therefore we are looking to raise money to support the good work of local volunteers in keeping local children healthy and active.

"And what better way to do it than to hold a game of golf.

"The day will start with a barbecue breakfast from 7am, with tee off at 8am.

"After golf, we will head into the auditorium and have a presentation and auction of NRL signed jumpers.

"We will be holding raffles during the day to drawn at the presentation.

"The event will be run in a three-person Ambrose format and will be a fun day out for all participants.

"The cost will be $50 per person which includes golf, breakfast, lunch and presentation."

Mr Harvey said the junior and senior clubs were also looking for local businesses to support the fundraising event through sponsorship.

"We have a number of sponsorships available for the day including gold, silver and bronze packages," Mr Harvey said.

"The gold package is available for $500 and includes three players, signage on course and exposure on the front of all game-day information documents and preferential seating positions at the presentation lunch.

"The silver sponsorship package includes three players, signage on a hole and on all game day information documents and website for $300.

"The Bronze class group sponsors package valued at $200 features three players, signage at barbecue area and on all game-day information documents.

"Anyone interested in attending or taking up one of our sponsorship packages please contact me on 0419 621 609."
